Is that as difficult as a 100# hail stone in the depths ... apocalyptic! That'd be a thunk in the night winds ...

Thunk? Past tense of disposed think's ... smells if too far gone ... thus odorous ... and tis uponus as AD onus ... responsibility for your future has been handed off ... like that guy that messed up in Persia ... sight unseen?

Seering ... look for the aura! Some say Corona ... peculiar item to bier ...
 
My son and his family went to a ski hill in upper Michigan.....Ski hills closed due to too much snow/wind/winter!!!! Thank goodness the resort has a pool. Otherwise, the kids would be pretty bored.

There's a theory about holes in the water ... played out in Corryvreckan ... that stirring hole off the Hebrides ... right up there with the Mose 'an experience ... bloody dizzying ... at least in my mind! More of the material we know little about because it is way out on the fringe ...

That happens. Wind alone can shut down lifts due to swinging chairs.
 
Good morning! Odd to think of a ski trip cancelled because of snow; but it happens. Hope you were ale to have a good time anyway!

Like the Chartreux ... a cat out of twilight zone formed by the forests out there ... we are designated to this zone to see if we have questions or even can question the matter appearing when the lights dim in GEO Ghia ... howls may erupt ...

Bad as the hounds of Baskerville ... laid out in the darkest places ... hidden, buried treasures as Gnomes stick ... numbed? Emotions can do that even to Top Guns without sight ... shots fire into the dark?

Should there have been a prior work-up? Votive Lights ... tis canon ... Anis bagged it another hymn? That was heh ... and "chi" was right into it .. as the archaic "E" ... path-E? Lewis wrote a tome on the problem of pain ... an agonist regarding the agony of through put ... and then it was out ... the lighter matter ... now Dark Matter ... immersed in mysterious energy! Project what you can draw out of the dark ... only a myth? What if there is something behind it tracking ... make tracks for the sky is falling ... an enigma of paradoxical magnitude ... strung out Bede?
 
So the daughter overheard talk at the uni about St. Patrick's Day and people were discussing checking out "the scene".

"What," my daughter asked, "is the scene?"

Oh my sweet summer child.

Party scene, bar scene, just general carryings on around campus and downtown, I told her.

She was not, apparently, interested in "the scene".

Maybe next year, when she is of drinking age, will she maybe exit her cocoon long enough to just try to let loose a little. She'll need more friends first. Those are still difficult for her to find. Most people can't really banter with her and are therefore boring. Most other 18-year-old girls want to talk about boys, or makeup, or clothes. She loses interest in those conversations quickly.

I've either taught her well, or ruined her for life.

I think you taught her well....she's probably still adjusting.
 
She is, but she's always struggled making friends with peers. It's not like I can help her - it's hardly my strength, either.

Not having a roommate in res didn't help. Her roommate never showed up. No idea what happened to her. We hope she's okay.

No roommate is unfortunate for sure....is she someone that enjoys clubs? Or maybe tai chi, chess club or start/ join a biking club or walking club in the spring? They should have counsellors that might walk her through how to find what's available?
 
She does art club and is already involved with the psych society. She meets people, but just struggles to maintain contact outside those events.

It doesn't help that Waterloo is the most socially awkward university in Canada. It really is. So many engineers, math and cs majors. She fits in, in some ways. She just has trouble reaching out, or believing anyone wants to talk to her. She hasn't reach my "f*** it, say something and make them laugh" stage.

Ahhh, just tell her to ask questions about the other person, people love talking about themselves....

If she is in the psyche society ... maybe she is meeting minds instead of the mindless wills?

Will is something best tucked away inside the ineffable ... thus has a reaction in the real world that is unspeakable in the edifice of BS's ... always guard your will ... until it begs to be released. There is even a country song on that theme ... and also a few hymns that are exposed mindlessly ... retain that thought as a share of intellect.

It may turn up as somethings manifest in a wraith!

In my career I was told to steer clear of trying to analyze the emotional scats ... simulates fallout of ecstasy ... some say Skye Folly, a literary term ...

After that term ... back on your point spike! By then someone beyond may have a stake in your future ... like wooden pins and parasites ... dices? It is all chance ... no plans or plots on this side of virtue no matter what the poles declare ... the great unknown will change everything at the last instant ... watch the trumpet ... no ET*ic at all ... superfluous! Large drip ...

I came out with basically the friends I had going in, though being in Arts, I did have a more socially interesting crowd than if I had been in engineering or CS. Even my friend in engineering was mostly socializing with us artsies, who he knew from high school.
 
I was just reading in a news article about a thing called "pagan nipples" are these abstract, heavenly or something mysterious?
What in 'elle are they ...

Something ineffable of sort ...

I left my high school "friends" so fast, they didn't know what hit 'em.

That's not really true - I didn't have many high school friends. The one guy who had better science and math marks than me, who was even more socially awkward than I was, I tried to befriend more. That backfired. Not only did he make it so no one wanted to be near us, he pissed me off. Get this: Because I got accepted in August (not a joke) I missed out on a parking pass. He was taking the bus across Hamilton. That wasn't even an option where I lived. We were both living at home and our homes were not close to one another. But he *had* a parking pass. He just hadn't saved up enough for a car yet, though he planned to buy one at some point in first year.

"Great," says I. "If you let me rent your pass, you can have it back when you get a car."

He refused to rent me his pass. I went out of my way to use what little social capital I had, which he tried to ruin by being a jerk to everyone, and I wasn't allowed to give him money to use a pass that he couldn't use anyway.

You survive programs like engineering by working together in groups. I invited him into groups. He would look at the answers of others, but he had nothing to contribute. Copying answers for assignments and learning from the answers of others is normal, but you have to contribute. He would not. He was always like that - worried that someone else would profit from his answers. Plus he was so bloody annoying and awful with people. So my new friends didn't like him. Neither did I, but I thought he might change for university. Eventually, he sorta got left out of study groups to fend for himself.

Alex, I recall, barely made it out of first year. He didn't survive second year. I can't recall exactly when I stopped seeing him on campus. I was following a hot blonde around by that point, so I don't know if I saw anyone else that entire year.
